And now there's a Russian rangefidner, made by Leica, together with a 35/1.0 (!) kit lens (!!) for around 4500.-

The lens alone from Fuji or Nikon would be more expensive.

You didn't mention the most interesting part... That camera is built by Leica in Germany. The camera is like a typ 240. The Typ 240 body only costs... $6000 body only. So it is not the "made in Germany" aspect that makes Leica price their products partly out of the marketplace.

You get a typ 240 limited production model  (500 will be made) with Zenit touches and a lens with a negative price. A no brainer for those who would like such a camera.
